1 and 2, Moravian Cottages and Moravian burial ground to rear

Moravian Cottages, consisting of Nos. 1 and 2, were built in 1792 and are located on the south side of Weston Road. They form a symmetrical pair of cottages made from limestone rubble, which is rendered at the front and features ashlar on the left return. The cottages have painted freestone rusticated surrounds around the openings and a steeply pitched pantile mansard roof that is swept at the eaves, complete with dormers and moulded stacks with brick shafts at the coped gable ends.

The cottages are two storeys high with attics. Each cottage has a two-window range, featuring two-light, two-pane casement windows in the dormers. The outer ends of both floors have six-over-six pane sash windows, and small paired two-pane casements are positioned beside the party wall on the first floor. The entrance doors are set back and consist of six panels, with glazing at the top and moulded hoods supported by shaped brackets. The right return of the building includes a small oval window on the first floor to the left.

The interiors have not been inspected and are likely to have been significantly altered, with modifications approved in 1951 to make the properties suitable for habitation.

Historically, the Moravians, or United Brethren, were a radical Non-conformist sect of Bohemian origins that gained some popularity in Late Georgian Bath. They played a key role in the conversion of John and Charles Wesley. Behind the cottages lies the Moravian burial ground, which contains rows of small, rectangular headstones laid horizontally. The materials, proportions, and heavily moulded door hoods of the cottages reflect the style of buildings from the earlier 18th century.
